[edit] Not Central Market

While it is correct that many English speakers erroneously refer to this market as “Central Market” Phsa Thmei translated “New Market” and that is how it is known in Cambodian. Among French speakers it is Phsa Thom Thmei or “Big New Market”. Only a few blocks away is Phsa Kandal, or “Central Market”

New Market (Phsa Thmei) is located at 11° 34’ 10.35” N and 104° 55’ 15.26”E

850 meters away is Central Market (Phsa Kandal) at 11° 34’ 8.57” N and 104° 55’ 43.48”E

New and Central are not synonimous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.63.240.6 (talk) 09:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
